After the people of the village left, the rest of the people had only one thought, and that was to wait for death.

Because they are all old people, they are also mentally prepared for death, although everyone knows that they will be greeted by death that will come soon, but the atmosphere in the village is still good.

As long as the trembling old people have some spirits, they will walk to the entrance of the village in twos and threes, sit in one place, bask in the sun and chatter, and the whole atmosphere looks so harmonious and quiet.

Only Xiang Ling, because the original intention of staying here was different from these old men and old ladies, so she was a little anxious.

The physicist said he would bring someone to test it, but after a long time, no one showed up.

Xiang Ling was a little anxious, and one day, she suddenly couldn't hold it anymore and left the village alone to find the physicist.

But she didn't go far when she came across a group of people from other provinces, one by one, wearing thick clothes and serious expressions, walking in the direction of their village.

Xiang Ling stopped them, knowing from the conversation that they had been sent to survey the radioactive materials in Xiang Ling's village.

Xiang Ling didn't find the physicist in the team, and he had some doubts in his heart, and an expert in the team who seemed to be more senior saw Xiang Ling's question and told her that the physicist had not returned home, and that something had happened on the way, but fortunately he himself seemed to have a premonition, so he wrote a letter in advance to explain what happened to them, and they found this place according to the content of the letter.

Hearing that the physicist had an accident, Xiang Ling's heart couldn't help but sink, she saw the expert's eyes and knew what the so-called accident was all about.

Unable to bear to ask again, Xiang Ling sighed and led the team towards his village.

Before the surveyors were ready to go up the mountain, they dressed Xiang Ling in the same clothes as them, and told him that this kind of clothing could protect against radiation, but the physicist did not wear them because he did not know the radiation intensity on the mountain, and finally died on the road because he ingested too much radioactive substance.

Xiang Ling let the experts dress her carefully and did not speak, but her heart was now full of doubts.

The physicist died of an overdose of radioactive substances, but he was with him all the time, and if he ingested too much radioactive substances, why would he be fine?

Although there were some suspicions, Xiang Ling's heart was more self-blame at this moment.

If it weren't for himself, the physicist might not have died, he was dragged down by himself.

Thinking of this, Xiang Ling began to have a contradiction in her heart, although she hoped that the experts could find the culprits who caused the people in the village and her father to die, but she didn't want to affect others because of her own affairs.

So, before going up the mountain, Xiang Ling repented.

She began to try to persuade the experts not to go up the mountain, not to put them in any danger because of the events in the village.

The experts naturally did not listen to Xiang Ling's meaning, but they thanked Xiang Ling for his reminder, and then lined up in a neat line up the mountain.

Xiang Ling stood at the bottom of the mountain for a long time in a thick radiation protection suit, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.

He has already had two experiences going up the mountain, and this time, Xiang Ling is much more familiar than the previous two times. She searched for traces left by the group and quickly followed.

When the experts saw Xiang Ling appear, they all looked at each other and smiled, but soon, they buried their heads and returned to their work.

Xiang Ling saw that the experts were surrounding a place that seemed to have some slight burn marks at the moment, one was digging with a small shovel in his hand, and the other was holding some unknown instruments from the box he had brought with him.

Xiang Ling squatted down and quietly watched the experts working with serious expressions, without disturbing them.

Under the dirt, there seemed to be small boulders, and the experts placed them in what they called the magnetic field detector and began to look nervously at the pointer reading.

The pointer on the instrument remained motionless, and after a long time, there was still no movement.

Xiang Ling looked at the experts and frowned one by one, knowing that they were in trouble, at this moment, she suddenly remembered what the physicist had told her.

The frequency of the radioactive material here is very unstable, and the intensity is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, so it is normal for it to be undetectable for a while.

Xiang Ling told those experts these words, and those experts were stunned, and then they were relieved one by one, they put the small stone on the electromagnetic detection equipment, and the people walked away one by one to go to work.

Seeing that the experts had restarted to work, Xiang Ling decided to walk around when he was bored.

She walked along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and stood on the top of the mountain looking at the small village at the foot of the mountain.

There were still a few dark shadows in the village, moving very slowly, and Xiang Ling knew that it was those fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law who came out for a walk.

When people reach that age, they may have no fear of death. Xiang Ling thought to himself.

However, his father is still young.

With a sour feeling in his heart, Xiang Ling immediately retracted his thoughts, thinking that he had been away for a long time, so he hurried to the place where the experts worked.

It's just that before she got to the place where she had just left, she heard a rapid "Didi" sound.

An inexplicable panic surged up in his heart, and Xiang Ling quickened his pace and ran over.

It's just that she went, but she saw the scene that she would never forget.

In that clearing, the electromagnetic detection equipment was chirping wildly, and there were many stones of different sizes scattered on the ground.

In the center of the clearing, the experts who were busy suddenly stopped moving.

One by one, they lay on the ground, their bodies curled up, but all of them were motionless.

With a sigh in his heart, Xiang Ling slowly paced over, but saw that those people had their eyes wide open, and the corners of their mouths and their noses were covered with blood-red blood.

Xiang Ling was stunned on the spot, and the violent impact came, and she fell to the ground in a trance.

And the detector beside her has long since stopped moving, and the pointer is still pointing at zero, not moving at all.

When Xiang Ling woke up again, he found that he had arrived at the hospital.

The white bed and bright white lights pierced Xiang Ling's eyes.

When she was fully conscious, she realized that she had a group of people around her bed.

Those people, one by one, looked at themselves with serious expressions, and when they saw themselves wake up, they didn't seem to feel any joy.

During his few days in the hospital, Xiang Ling knew what was going on.

The experts who went to detect the radioactive material died, from the super-intense radiation.

Before they died, they sent a distress signal to the outside world, and the rescue team found them long dead in the dark.

Seeing that Xiang Ling was also lying next to those experts, the rescue team took her out.

This incident attracted the attention of the government, and so many experts died one after another, coupled with the strange things that happened in the village, the government decided to close the mountain in line with the purpose of the greatest human life.

They took all the old people from the village and placed them in various welfare homes, cutting off the access to the village and the mountain.

Until it is known exactly what's on that mountain, the government strictly prohibits any form of exploration and exploration work.

Xiang Ling stayed in the hospital alone for half a month, and the doctors did many examinations on her before allowing her to be discharged after making sure that she was not harmed by those radiation substances.

The village can't go back, and the home is estimated to be long gone, so Xiang Ling, who is out of the hospital, is at a loss.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, the government provided Xiang Ling with free food and lodging, but Xiang Ling refused.

With a strong nature, she decided to support herself and has since put down roots in the city.

It's just that there has always been a longing in her heart, to return to her hometown, to that village, and even to that mountain, to seek the answers to the mysteries that people have not solved.

------

After Xiang Ling finished speaking, Du Kang and Master Zhou were unable to speak for a long time.

Most of the rumors about Xiang Ling's hometown in the outside world are some miraculous ghosts, Du Kang naturally doesn't believe it, but now that he heard Xiang Ling's story, he was even more determined in his original idea.

And Master Zhou, looking at Xiang Ling, who had lowered her head for a long time and was silent, Master Zhou knew that the scar in her heart had always been.

According to her story, there must be some unknown mysterious substance on the mountain in her hometown.

Thinking of this, Master Zhou suddenly came to his senses, he stood up, and said faintly, "No matter what there is on the mountain in your hometown, we must go and find him, perhaps, something there can help us go back." ”

"However, the roads over there have been blocked, and there is no way to go, and besides, so many people have died, I really don't want the people I care about to be in any danger." Xiang Ling finally came back to his senses from the past and raised his head to look at Du Kang.

Du Kang knew what she meant, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Xiang Ling, with Master Zhou here, I believe we won't be in danger, besides, you have been in and out of that mountain so many times, isn't it still no problem?" ”

Speaking of why Xiang Ling didn't receive the image of those radiated substances, Xiang Ling himself didn't know. But she couldn't be sure if she would come back safely the next time she went.

Therefore, Xiang Ling was still a little hesitant about the decision of Master Zhou and Du Kang.

"Don't worry, I won't let you take the risk easily, I'll go one step ahead of you, and I'll ask you to go with me when I'm a little brows." Master Zhou comforted Xiang Lingdao, "You don't have to worry about my safety, you should know that I am not from this world, and things in this world can't hurt me." ”

Looking at Master Zhou's relaxed face, Xiang Ling seemed to be a little relieved, but suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

"By the way, Master Zhou, what about Xue Xue?"

Since the last time they were separated in the canyon, Xiang Ling had not seen Xue Xue, she thought that Xue Xue had been staying with Master Zhou, so she didn't care, but now that she saw it, Xue Xue didn't seem to have appeared, I don't know why, she had a trace of worry in her heart.

"Xue Xue is fine, I just sent it to find Yang Mo!" Master Zhou's words were very casual.
